[FIXED] Has anyone been able to make pytesseract to work on Raspberry Pi 5?

Issue

I'm having issues with pytesseract on my raspberry pi 5.

Running the program kept saying

"An error occurred on visual studio code: <path_to_pytesseract_executable> is not installed or it's not in your PATH. See README file for more info.

(all other libraries worked just fine, following the same installation process)

I successfully installed all packages needed sudo apt install tesseract-ocr, pip install pytesseract. I also updated them (they were already up to date).

Doing pip list and pip show pytesseract, and it indicated me that the library was there.

Solution

I'm having issues with pytesseract on my raspberry pi 5

It working right now on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5.

The merely problem is python3-pip instead of python-pip.

Firstly, install this ...sudo apt install python3-pip

Then secondly...sudo pip install pytesseract.

Then run the script.
